Welcome to the 6th episode of The Second Half Podcast! Our mission is to give you access to athletes, the part of their lives that fans rarely get to see--what life is like AFTER sport.

Join us each week as we share the best tips, tricks, and life learnings on how to overcome big transitions, and create a meaningful life.   

This week we talk to Matt Russell.  Matt is a former Cal Bears Water Polo team captain, and now has a successful career in advertising. 

In this episode Matt and I explore topics like: 
-How to overcome the fear of being the same as everyone else 
-How to shift expectations from success in sport to success in the professional world
-How to take the first step in the transition from life as an athlete to life post sports
